This macro allows you to retrieve the homing and position info that was used during shutdown without having to read GCode system variables. Simply put, this code sends the machine to a specified location, mine is front center with the Z at full height, so it is ready for a tool change, and then sets...

This macro allows you to save the current homing and position info during shutdown without having to set GCode system variables. Simply put, this code sends the machine to a specified location, mine is back center with the Z at full height, so it is out of the way. The parked location is very machin...

I just added a post on how to add network storage, maybe that will help you.

Tired of typing in the ip address of the controller each time you need to remote in to it? Here is a desktop shortcut you can use!

The first is by using a USB thumb drive, and the second is by using another computer to remote into the controller's...

The soft limits have not changed, and my files are all set as a lower left origin, so it is weird that both axis are under. And to top it all off, i somehow deleted the configuration backup yesterda...

Hello. I just ran into this issue also when doing some modifications to the vectric post processor by adding G53 G0 X24 Y18 Z7 to run at the end of each job. I don't really use the 3D viewer, but this throws a "No Fit" error on the coordinate control page as the "Fit" checks are based on the zero of...

Hello all! So I made a few small changes to the Vectric post processor to fit my needs. To those of you who don't understand what the post processor does, it just formats the output of the toolpaths from Vectric into GCode that is readable by the BuildBotics controller. The changes I made are below:...

Great idea.

Thank you for posting.
